I found these three bullets in the same camp today, two carbine bullets and a pistol bullet, can anybody tell me what they are? I don't recall ever seeing a pistol bullet like this one before. Thank you!

Please give us precise measurements. Also, a general location (state) as to where you found them would help. The two larger bullets may be carbine ones. Not sure about the pistol round.

The pistol round may be a Sage but measurements are needed to verify it.

Measurements in thousands of an inch. Otherwise it's a guessing game.

Two Spencer's and a sage?

I'm sorry, but I don't have a mic to get a measurement in the thousands, I'll see if I can borrow one. The pistol bullet is a 44 cal and the sage ID is most likely correct. The bullets were found in Virginia.

You can get a good digital caliper at most Auto Parts stores for around twenty bucks. This is the one I use. Performance Tool W80152 - Caliper | O'Reilly Auto Parts

I would not get one from a builder supply house because they don't seem to be as good of quality. I bought one from A big box builder store and it went haywire within a month. The one I have now has lasted over two years.

The one on the left looks similar to a 54 caliber Burnside.
